Installing FAST InStream on UNIX

To install FAST InStream the user must have administrative privileges. For information on supported platforms, see Siebel System Requirements and Supported Platforms on Oracle Technology Network.

To install FAST InStream on UNIX

1. Navigate to the Siebel image location for the Siebel Search installation file at <install_directory>/Siebel_Install_Image/<version>/<OS>/Server_Ancillary/Siebel_Search_Server/.
2. Launch a bash shell.
3. Execute the command gunzip SSS_OEMInstaller_<OS>.tar.gz to convert SSS_OEMInstaller_<OS>.tar.gz to a tar file.
4. Execute the command tar -xvf SSS_OEMInstaller_<OS>.tar to extract the contents of the tar file.
5. Update the file <install_directory>/FAST/installer/oeminstaller/etc/SSC_OEMConfiguration_Unix.xml with the correct parameters. For example, replace all the occurrences of /vol3/unixuser/ with /home/FAST/instream/. Some configuration fields are described in the following table:

   Field	Description
   InstallPath	This should be set to the directory in which you want FAST InStream to be installed.
   LogOutput	This should be set to the path to the log file for the installer, for example, <install_directory>/temp/Install.log.
   Tempdir	This should be set to the path of a temporary directory that will be used for the installation process, for example, <install_directory>/temp.
   UserName	This value must be left blank for UNIX environments.
   Password	This value must be left blank for UNIX environments.

6. Change Directory to the ./FAST/installer/oeminstaller/bin directory.
7. Execute the command setupenv.sh to setup the environment variables necessary for FAST InStream installation.
8. Echo the environment variables to make sure that they are set by executing the following commands:

   echo $PWD

   echo $LIBPATH

   echo $SHLIB_PATH

   echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

9. If the environment variables have not been set by the setupenv.sh script they should be set individually by executing the following commands:

   setenv PWD /<install_directory>/FAST/installer/oeminstaller/bin

   setenv LIBPATH /<install_directory>/FAST/installer/oeminstaller/lib:$LIBPATH

   setenv SHLIB_PATH /<install_directory>/FAST/installer/oeminstaller/lib

   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /<install_directory>/FAST/installer/oeminstaller/lib.

10. Execute the oeminstaller command to install FAST InStream.

    oeminstaller -f <install_directory>/etc/SSC_OEMConfigration_Unix.xml -h|-o|-n -v <verbosity level>

    For a full listing of arguments run the command oeminstaller at the command prompt. The options are described in the following table. All options are case sensitive.

    Option	Description	Mandatory
    -f	Specifies the configuration file that contains all information needed for the installer.	Yes
    -h	Overrides the hostname check. Installation will continue if the hostname check fails.	No
    -o	Overrides the supported platform check. Installation will continue if the platform is not supported.	No
    -n	Overrides the network loopback check. Installation will continue if the check fails.	No
    -v	Specifies the verbosity of the installer. The verbosity options are: 0 = No output 1 = Fatal 2 = Error 3 = Warning 4 = Progress 5 = Info 6 = Debug 7 = Trace The default value is 5.	No

    The installation process is then invoked and when it terminates you should get a message indicating that it has completed successfully.

11. Change directory to $FASTSEARCH/bin, for example /<install_directory>/instream/bin.
12. Run setupenv.sh to setup the environment variables necessary for FAST Instream processes.
